New Jersey judge rules against parents who gave children Nazi-inspired names

Heath and Deborah Campbell, the New Jersey couple who came under public scrutiny for naming their three children after Nazis, has been denied custody of their kids. 

The family first attracted the public’s attention when a local Shop-Rite supermarket refused to decorate a birthday cake for “Adolf Hitler Campbell”. NJ’s division of Youth and Family Services removed Adolf and his sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlyn Hinler Jeannie, from the home back in January of 2009. The parents later accused the state of removing the children because of their names and relied on unproven accusations of abuse made by a neighbor and Campbell’s ex-wife, who charged him with abusing her years ago.

Earlier this month, a panel of judges cited the parents’ own disabilities and risk of serious injury to the children and found the evidence of his violence against his ex-wife and her children of a prior marriage was admissible in this case.
